If you like Rocky Horror or Monty Python you’ll love this irreverent, over the top and purely British romp. Be prepared for a totally outrageous plot, quirky characters and impudent situations. This is an easy to follow oddity among British political satires.

The acting was excellent, the plot was great (after I finally figured out where this story was going). However, I didnt think that it made for good movie. The pace of the film was way too slow. If this film was 45 minutes shorter, I might have enjoyed it more. As I watched the film, I was watching the clock and thinking, how much longer? It was not until the last few minutes of the film that it finally made sense. This was a very strange story.

Anyone who did not like this movie did not understand it. It is one of the most inovative, funny, frighting, bizarre movies I have ever seen. SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's rare that a film has no redeeming value - this may be one. Unfortunately, I was fooled by the cast, but if you currently live in a late 60's- early 70's 'artistic' time warp than this is the film for you. If you find the portrayal of untreated schizophrenia to be amusing than you'll cheer through this one. I didn't see a tab for negative stars so I gave it none.
